Herrens ord kom til meg: «Esekiel, vend ansiktet ditt mot Israels fjell, profeter mot dem og si at Jeg sier til dem: ‘Jeg, ja, Jeg skal la dere bli angrepet og ødelegge avgudenes offerhauger som ligger på dere. Altrene deres skal ødelegges. Røkelsesaltrene skal knuses, og Jeg skal la drepte blant dere falle ned rett foran avgudene deres. Jeg vil legge likene av Israels folk rett framfor avgudene – de skal spres overalt rundt altrene deres. Alle stedene der dere bor, skal byene ødelegges, og offerhaugene skal bli forlatt. Altrene med sine avgudsbilder skal bli forlatt. Avgudsbildene deres skal bli knust og gå i oppløsning, røkelsesaltrene skal bli hogd ned og utslettes. De drepte skal falle midt iblant dere, og dere skal kjenne at Jeg er Herren.
